PH GOVERNMENT LAUNCHES PUBLIC PORTAL ON HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE

PASAY CITY 24 August 2020 –  Pursuant to President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s directive to ensure transparency and accountability in managing and allocating resources to the intended beneficiaries, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), and Office of Civil Defense (OCD) launched today the Philippine Humanitarian Assistance Registry (PHAR) website.

PHAR is the primary government website for information, inquiries, and procedures on all local and foreign humanitarian assistance to the Philippine Government, including in-kind and financial donations, and deployment of humanitarian workers for COVID-19 as well as other future pandemics and civil and natural disasters.

Information on the distribution and utilization of humanitarian assistance to the intended beneficiaries may be viewed on the website.

The PHAR initiative was presented by the DFA to the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) during its meeting on 17 August 2020.

This inter-agency effort was made under the ambit of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council of the Philippines(NDRRMC), as the Philippine Government’s primary mechanism on disaster preparedness, relief operations and rehabilitation efforts.

The public is invited to read up on the infographics through the link below and visit the PHAR website at www.phar.gov.ph. END

The Philippines’ art sector has been hit hard by this pandemic. For the Filipino artists, the response to this virus was the genesis of a ‘new art reality’—the so called ‘pandemic art.’ But there will be challenges for them long after the rest of us return to work. Now, more stronger than ever, it is important to recognize and protect the work of our artists.
The Philippine Consulate General in Frankfurt, in partnership with Transwing Art Gallery, invites you to an opportunity to listen to the voices of the Filipino artists as they ‘envision healing and inspiration from abroad’ in their art. Join us and offer support for the Filipino artists in times of pandemic.
